Fourier Analysis and Its Applications (Pure and Applied Undergraduate Texts) (Pure and Applied Undergraduate Texts, 4)

Book is in a better condition than advertised and also arrived on time. Excellent service.

Book arrived in perfect condition and before scheduled date.

Great quality. Not a pure harmonic analysis book, though, just as the title states.

The book wasn't quite new as advertised. It had pen marks on a few pages, but other than that it was in perfect condition. The book itself is great as long as you have a good background in mathematics. A lot of prior knowledge is assumed, as it should be. There is a nice balance of detail and brevity. The book is nicely bound and the print is very easy on the eyes.

Very good for the money . Fast shipping too

I am simply writing this here to confirm what others have said about this excellent book. That is all that I have to say.

I've been asked to teach a course on Fourier analysis,I knew nothing on the subject so I took about 15 books on this subject and went over all of them. My conclusion was that Folland's book is the best!. He explain the theory yet never forget for a minute the intuitive side of the subject. The book contains almost all the important issues and notions of the subject. If you have a solid background in vector calculus and you know some basic facts about ODE this is a very good book to learn the subject from. Moreover the book give the reader some of the important motivations to the basic ideas of functional analysis such as generating functions distrbutions it gives the connection also between linear algebra and the basic ideas that lies at the foundations for understanding normed function spaces and more. Moreover the book draw the line , in a very elegant way, between functional analysis PDE and Fourier analysis. Main subjects are:Fourier series,orthogonal sets Fourier and Laplace transforms,convolution, generating functions,Green functions, and more. Very recommended!.

Im somewhat baffled by all of the 5 star reviews of this book. I can agree that the theory is very good. In fact, it's so good that the book consists almost exclusively of theory. But what is UTTERLY lacking here is concrete, easy explaining examples of how to actually apply the fancy theory to solve the assignments. What good is the theory if there is no explanation on how to use it?No step by step methods.No explaining examples.Where other books often start by easy learning assignments to make sure the student grasps the general knowledge, this book jumps straight into hard "show this"-proof assignments.Let's face it - this book needs a complete makeover. The paper is almost yellowish as if its 30 years old. It completely lacks good illustrative figures and good graphs to help visually grasp this abstract theory. Only black ink. It's like reading a novel - a novel of theory where the author expects the reader to simply understand without basic examples. The book has A LOT to learn from "Fundamentals of differential equations and boundry value problems (international edition)" by Nagle, Saff, Snyder.We were warned that this book was horrible by the students in the year above us - and they were right.Seriously, there HAS TO BE a better book on this interesting and important field of mathematics!If you go with this one, expect to waste many hours banging your head against the wall just to figure out how to get started on the assignments and actually use the theory./Daniel (studying engineering physics)

Nunca recibí el paquete, me lo cobraron de todas maneras; dicen que no me pueden reembolsar.

The book arrived in time. Of course being an Indian edition you cannot expect the same quality (paper, printing,...) as the edition for the american market but the price is very good.

A quick & appropriate depth read for an engineer. This book gets straight to point without swaying away. It also covers the additional topics required like orthogonal functions, Bessel's function etc.. Edit : I've compared it with Bracewell's book. Folland's book seems a lot lovlier. Love this little book

I've been asked to teach acourse on fourier analysis,Iknew nothing on the subject so I took abut 15 books on the subject I went over all of them and my conclusion was thatfollands book is the best!.He explains the theory yet never forget for a minute the intuitive part of the subject ,the book contains almost all the important issues and notions of the subject.If you have a solid background in vector calculus elementry notions of ODE this is the best book to learn the subject.One more thing:the book also give the reader some of the important motivations to functional analysis such as generating function and distrbutions the conection between linear algebera and the basic ideas that lies at the foundations of understanding function spaces (with norm on it)and more in short it gives you in a kind of magic the conections between functional analysis fourier analysis and even PDE .main subjects are:fourier series,orthogonal sets of functions,fourier and laplace transforms ,convolution,generating function green functions and more.raed it and enjoy it!.
